This guy who has uploaded WZ to steam, he / she hasn't said anything on if they will support the steam version, or even acknowledge that the version isn't supported by this community here.
The fact he just posted the source code for the game, gives me the sneaking suspicion he isn't going to support the game at all, and expecting other people to do it. Even though he is the only one who can update the steam version. This is going to get very messy, I suspect, and after a while people will starting looking for answers or maybe even start posting bug reports of the steam version.
This is going to get very messy for the devs here, if steam version bug reports start showing up. I do hope that the devs might find a way to combat this?
But still, the commander guy hasn't said anything really, so banning me seems to be just an excuse to stop me from telling the truth on that forum. Sooner or later people will find the truth the hard way.
But ultimately, I think it will be this project source code he will use, to update the game, that is IF he updates the game, which I suspect he might not.
Edit
My 24 hour ban is over, So I decided to post this
Its interesting that you banned me, after all I was just stating the obvious, and as well did try to post some helpful advice.
Still I have some questions, what are your plans for this game?
will you get other people involved in this version of the game?
Will you fix any of the numerous bugs that are still present in this build of the game? (and there are loads, including some commander bugs and AI bugs)
Another point is, you should at least create a sticky complimenting the project devs, and also state that this version of the game isn't supported or endorsed by them. it would save a lot of time for users who don't realise that the game isn't supported by the project devs, and don't bother posting any bug reports on the steam version on the WZ 2100 forum, because they will mostly say, what I've been saying above, and or the post gets deleted, or told to use their version of the game instead.
But if you aren't going to support the game, IE add new features, will you just wait until the project devs upload a new build, you grab it and then upload it to steam?
The thing to remember if the project devs wanted the game on steam, they would have done so already, but in their words, this game isn't ready for a steam release.
So Your going to ban me again for posting this? or you going to try and answer?
I will be very interested in what kind of response this brings? or if I will end up getting banned again. I think he should at least do a sticky to inform people that the steam version can't get any support from here. But anyway, I do suspect he will just ban me again and delete the post, if that happens, then I have another answer. And just unsure what his motives are? especially if he doesn't really intend to support the game, or more likely, just pull the source code and compile and upload whenever you do a new build.
I did ask valid questions, and deserve valid answers. Will wait and see what kind of response I get.
